Just did an in-place update from 6.1 to 6.2 on my eeepc 901 (Atom CPU).
during boot, (if I hit ESC to see the boot messages) it says "starging udev" then nothing else for a few seconds, then a huge register dump scrolls by. it's too big to see the beginning of it.
If I boot from the prior kernel and look in /var/log/messages, I don't see any evidence of the failed boot.
I've seen the other thread titled "kernel panic", and it seems to be due to a missing initramfs, but there is an initramfs for 2.6.32-220.el6 already in /boot, so I don't think that would be the problem.
Can anyone suggest how I would isolate what's going on here?
